    WIZARDS OF THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Featuring Doug Smith,
Stacy Hobbs,
and Brian Henke 
  Wednesday, August 29 -- 7:30 PM
  Doug Smith is a nationally recognized acoustic guitarist who weaves together folk, classical, jazz and contemporary forms into a unique, flowing fingerpicking style recalling the playing of Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, and Alex de Grassi.
  In September 2006, Doug won the prestigious International Fingerstyle Guitar competition in Winfield, Kansas. This is a tough competition playing with some of the best players in the world. 
  Doug's music has been heard on radio and T.V. stations throughout the country, including The Discovery Channel, Martha Stewart Living, CNN, TNN, ESPN, and Encore. He also played guitar on the soundtracks for the recent movies "Moll Flanders" and "Twister."

  Stacy Hobbs is one of a handful of master harp guitarists in today's growing acoustic scene. As he stands and lovingly plays on his instrument, one is taken by his passion and commitment to express himself through the extended range of the bass strings beyond the usual six of the guitar. 
  Stacy Hobbs plays some great stuff! He's writing new music for the old harp guitar that is breathing new life into that long neglected instrument. What he plays on 6 string is just as good. Do give him a listen!

  Brian Henke composes and performs his music like a painter putting images on canvas, drawing his inspiration from the world around him. An avid hiker, he often brings his guitar along to create a spontaneous response to his outdoor settings. Mother Earth (Terra) as artist has given an immense living gallery from the humbling spectacle of her natural wonders to the simple, beauty of a treetop against a blue sky. Her majestic legacy and the magical feeling of awe and peace inspire the compositions of this award winning virtuosic fingerstyle guitarist.
  A winner of several Northeast Ohio Music Awards, he has also been a finalist in the National Fingerstyle Contest in Winfield, Kansas and the National Guitarmageddon regional finals in Boston.

    THE DITTY BOPS
  Saturday, September 1 -- 8:00 PM
  They just might be the strangest, most unlikely musical duo since Hall and Oates. And it's obvious when they show up at one of their favorite Hollywood cafés. Tall, gamine Amanda Barrett arrives in a flowing white skirt, costume-jewelried black sweater, her big kohl-rimmed eyes framed by a pert Louise Brooks bob. She's all girlish giggles and, for no apparent reason, she's carrying a dinky red ukulele. Following hot on her fashionable heels is Abby Dewald, a shorter lass who—in her rumpled overalls, weathered jean jacket and striped engineer's capÑlooks like she's been working on the railroad. All the livelong day. And she's lugging a burlap tote bag with three deluxe juggler's pins poking out the top.
  What do they have in mind, this curious folk-pop team that bills itself as The Ditty Bops? Well, juggling, for one thing. Right there on the SoCal sidewalk, while passersby gather to gawk, Dewald begins tossing and catching the clubs. Barrett—whose father just happens to be a clown by profession—steps in front of her chum to show off her new trick called "stealing." Grabbing a pin, she throws it back with lightning speed. Over tea, however, still more disparities emerge. Barrett is a world-traveled model and actress who currently anchors a sketch-comedy show for public-access TV called Pretty Things. Her mother, a Pagan Celtic musician, taught her to play dulcimer as a child. Guitarist Dewald prefers sketching. She designs most of the Ditty Bops' cut-and-paste-ish artwork and prefers roll-up-your-sleeves work over smooth office sailing. "And my sister taught me how to juggle when I was a kid, so I kinda picked up the pins in high school," she explains. "But I stopped
 doing it for awhile. Then I met Amanda and one of the first times we hung out, we juggled together. She taught me how to pass, and then her dad taught us some new tricks." The Ditty Bops' eponymous debut on Warner Brothers is every bit as oddball. Bouncing along on Roches-retro harmonies and quirky acoustic strumming, curiosities like "Ooh La La," "Walk Or Ride" and a kooky cover of "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate" actually sound like old vaudeville, with a sassy burlesque edge. Yes, the girls confess, juggling is sometimes incorporated into their elaborate stage performances, which involve scripts and usually revolve around a prop-heavy theme like "Hawaiian," "Celebrity Look-a-likes" or their most difficult undertaking, "Underwater Night."
